For the Price Guide: Benny Green, Gil Melle, Bill Evans

Here are a few more items for the Jazz Collector Price Guide. By the time you read this we may have surpassed more than 4,000 records listed in the guide. Not bad. Please take a look.

Bennie Green with Art Farmer, Prestige 7041. This was an original New York pressing. The record was in VG+ condition and the cover was VG+. The price was $131.50. I have a small affinity for this record: I was browsing the $25 cent bin at one of the local record stores on Long Island, and an original copy of this was sitting in there. Clearly the guy who priced jazz records was out ill the day this one arrived in the store. 

Bill Evans, Waltz For Debby, Riverside 399. This was an original blue label mono pressing. The record was VG+ and the cover was VG++. The price was $365. 

Lou Donaldson, Lou Takes Off, Blue Note 1591. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing in M- condition, both record and cover. The price was $355.

Gil Melle, Quadrama, Prestige 7097. This was an original New York yellow label pressing in M- condition, both record and cover. The price was $213.50. One of the reasons I was watching this is because I have a copy in my collection I’m about ready to sell. If anyone is interested before I put it on eBay, please send me an email: al@jazzcollector.com.

Blue Mitchell, Big Six, Riverside 273. This was an original blue label pressing. The record was VG++ and the cover was VG+. The price was $100.
